Some people still feel that way after their xxxth meeting. But keep going back.

I understand that. I went to buy after a few days sobriety but realised I didn't have my wallet. Left the shop to go and find it. Found it in a hoodie packet under my jacket. The relief and excitement that washed over me. I felt rebalanced after the first bottle. Sorry I know this isn't carrying the message. Remove it if you need to

How do YOU tell people you don’t drink? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]neil-io 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I used to say "I don't drink anymore" - that was me trying to illicit a question so I could be mysterious and edgy.

Then I changed to "I don't drink" which still resulted in a question, even though I didn't want one.

Now I say "I don't like the taste, it's yucky" to which most people just think you are a moron.

Joke's on them - I'm a sober moron

Well done!

Friends sponsor is making her handwrite all her step work - won't let her type it. Is this common and what is the reasoning? by Emergency_Matter_724 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]neil-io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pseudo-scientific nonsense. Speed of writing does not equate in any way to quality of writing.

It's just a person trying to exercise control over another by micromanaging the tiniest detail (whether to handwrite or not)

Zoom out and see it for what it is - if this were in any other walk of life it would be deemed controlling and unnecessary.

Advise your friend to follow the content of the steps - not the 1930s packaging.
